Intro: A 

            A    E              A 
Give me a swamp,   a deep dark bog 
             D                                A 
Where I can lose my way in pools of slippery mud 
                    D                         A 
Give me cold, cold rain, a cloud of stinging bugs 
                                E                      A 
Deadly nightshade, poison oak, give me the wild, wild wood 

     E         D                 A 
The wild, the wild, wild, wild wood 
     Bm        D                 A 
The wild, the wild, wild, wild wood 

                  A    E                    A 
We can dress in skins,    wrap our feet in bark 
              D                           A 
And you can growl at me or hit me with a rock 
                  D                         A 
When you want to say, "I love you," in the dark 
                        E           A 
And I will bark like a dog in your arms 

        E         D                 A 
In the wild, the wild, wild, wild wood 
     Bm        D                 A 
The wild, the wild, wild, wild wood 

            A         E     A             D                 A

               A   E                     A 
We can make a god     out of sticks and bones 
           D                                A 
Or we can pray to the trees or pray to the sun 
                    D                     A 
And our eyes will shine when we start to sing 
                           E                 A 
With the hungry wolves outside our freezing cave 

        E         D                 A 
In the wild, the wild, wild, wild wood 
     Bm        D                 A 
The wild, the wild, wild, wild wood 

A
